The design of the chapel itself, especially the paneld walls and the hevy-beamd ceiling, is taken from the Great Hall of Hampden Court Place near Lon- don, which was bilt in 1536. The whole effect of this blending of secular and sacred architecture is 3 Chapel which is neither incongruus with academic tradition nor out of keeping with the sober uses to which the room is occasionally put. The future development of the campus with the growth of the college largely depends, of course, upon the liberality of those men of means who at interested in what the college is doing. That whatever additions may he made to the present equipment either for academic or residential use wil not be out of place in a unified scheme of architectural grouping, a plan for the development of the entire campus has been prepared. The principle of the scheme is a quadrangular grouping of bilda ings around larger and smaller Open spaces. The principal quadrangles in this plan at the group of bildings for instruc- tional purposes on the east end of the south half of the campus, and the group of residential structures directly west which ine cludes a site for a college union after the English university pattern. The ground north of the ravine, now unimproved, is reservd for coordinate scientific and professional scools and the College for Women. A consistent plan of this kind, even tho sketchy, insures freedom from the perpetuation of mis- placements in college architecture which frequently caracterize the campuses of American colleges. 1915 . k w .Wv LOER CHAPEL HALLTVAY l :hpgr-gent-t-E-ui - .Tu-gi t.-.-.-. :5..'a-n.;u 3;;-;.;.;'..h.

I61 STORY OF FIRST FOUR YEARS ITH an enrollment of only fifty students, and a fac- .. ulty of six, the Reed community during the first . year was more like a good-sized family than a real .I a .9 college. But in spite of this fact, many of the J present student activities had their beginnings in the crampt and inconvenient temporary quarters 1 on Jefferson street. Student government was organized, the a honor principle was adopted, and the beginnings of an athletic . system wer workt out. . It is tru that, for the first semester, athletics outside of tennis consisted, for the men, mainly of playing ttNigger Baby,y . I on the curb, and, for the women, of Walking around the block; but, when the Multnomah Club was opend to the Reed College . I students, more strenuug forms of exercise wer begun. Chapel servises wer held from the very first, but the matter of attendance soon constituted a problem. Tho chapel was never compulsory, a large part of the students went regularly. However, there wer occasions when the attendance outside the doors, which wer kept lockt during chapel time, was almost as large as that inside. A vote was taken among the students to discover whether or not, in their opinion, the servises should be continued. The result was a unanimus decision in favor of chapel, and a greatly increast attendance. The place of FIRST HOME OF REED COLLEGE
